Volume V, 12: The Infected
"Okay gentlemen, let's open the skylight and say something. I think everyone should know in their hearts that there is no confusion about the banshee. This kind of thing is a complete lie, because we have checked all the information on the federal planet before the Zerg erupted. There is no such thing that can seduce any creature without intelligence. This is actually your random fabrication to cover up the special abilities that some people have..."
In a slightly larger enclosed room, an old man led by a colonel rank led a group of middle and senior officers, sitting high on the stairs in the back row. In front of them were several lonely chairs, placed in the middle of the house, not only seemed very empty, but also had to raise their heads to see their expressions clearly. Sitting on it were Kennan and others who were questioning.
"Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. Of course, the Banshee Confusion exists completely, otherwise how did that beast come from, and more than a hundred soldiers who are still alive can testify. I think the more likely reason may be that someone is deliberately blocking the news of the Banshee Confusion, or that it is because of that magical function, or that it is purely not wanting such things to appear on the battlefield." Kennan and others were shocked and thought to themselves that they were troublesome, but the tone of speaking had not changed at all, and it was still the same as usual.
According to their original idea, Chen Xi was forced to use the magic prop [Tang Monk's Meat Scent]. He was naturally dead when facing the wild beasts. Next, they would have some minor accidents inadvertently when dealing with the dangerous wild beasts. Some brave men with righteousness would sacrifice their lives to hold the wild beasts back to the survival of others. Create opportunities for them.
The subsequent development can be said to be a joy to everyone.
Only they survived successfully and led a new group of people in the form of weak soldiers to resist the stupid fleet's top leaders.
But obviously, the script was not performed according to this. Not only did Chen Xi survive unexpectedly, but he did so many things that alarmed the top leaders of the fleet, making the secret they wanted to keep known to almost all the people on the Space Prison.
Can it seduce any creature without intelligence?
What a joke? If there is such a thing, the Federation will definitely be crazy about researching its principles and components, and then make the gourd on a large scale. It is used on the battlefield with the Zerg.
No wonder this group of senior fleet leaders wanted to ask clearly. I have never heard of such a huge effect until now, and no one could bear it.
Even Kennan suspected that there was an investigation into Chen Xi to confirm his credit. He clearly wanted to find a breakthrough from them. It was easy to figure out what the [Bansheep Confusion] was, where it was produced, and whether there was a large amount of inventory.
If this kind of thing can be obtained, the top leaders of this fleet probably don't have to continue to find allies this time, and turn around and turn back to the Federation. But the problem is that this is a situation they want to avoid, which will not only affect this mission and make the plot collapse to the point where it cannot develop, but will also lead to them being the target of public criticism and have no freedom.
However, they cannot completely deny it because even fools know that they openly defend a thing that has been known to most people, which will only show that they have a ghost in their hearts, and even if there is no problem, it will become a problem, and thus be imprisoned by these people as suspicious elements.
It would be better to just recognize these indigenous people and not treat them as cannon fodder.
"Then tell me, did you get this kind of thing? Why are you only used in this action?"
The problem continues, and a group of inquirers repeatedly raised the matter about the [Banshees Confusion] that they felt was doubtful.
The process was asked for a long time, but fortunately they had already made a thorough preparation before coming. After the confession and what they were about to say, they did not worry about the problem that these people saw, but instead felt that they really didn't know why this huge thing had not been used by the federal government.
"It seems that even within the military, the Federation has concealed a lot of things from us..."
Finally, after the old man in the lead sighed and said such a sentence, the questioning came to an end for the time being. The inquirer on the stairs left in groups of three or three, and the lowest rank naturally had to wait until the end to leave.
"I don't know how much of this process is, but this time I finally got it over..." Kenan thought to himself depressedly. The occurrence of such troubles would have been blamed for Chen Xi. If he hadn't acted so eye-catchingly, the top leaders of the fleet would not have paid much attention to spending a lot of effort to figure out the authenticity of the so-called "Banshees Confusion". He would not have wanted to get enough credit through this thing.
But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred.
As the last few people stood up, circles of circular covers suddenly appeared at the surrounding ground and ceiling, intersecting opposite ones to trap them inside.
During the process, with their strength, they could naturally leave before the closure, but considering that this might be a temptation, no one acted rashly, but secretly adjusted their vigilance to the highest level. If danger arises, they will definitely take action as soon as possible.
"The others are gone, I think we can speak openly." The old colonel led the other people and said.
"What do you want to do?" Looking at the people walking to the multi-layer shield, Kennan felt a little surprised. From the strange smiles they showed, he seemed to have a bad premonition.
"We need to verify whether you are lying." When the old man said this, the smile on his face became more and more incomprehensible.
"It is necessary to make it so complicated. Haven't you used it before? The lie detector's instruments have checked that we did not tell lies..." Comoros did not notice the strange expressions of these people, thinking that it was the same as the previous treatment. He couldn't help but say impatiently that for the evolutionists, the effect of this kind of thing is obviously too weak.
However, before Comoros finished speaking, they were scared because the lie detectors stretched out from the ceiling, but five lively fat insects, dark green, the size of a baby's fist, were covered with translucent and light brown filaments, and were constantly twisting their bodies when they were grabbed onto the robotic arm.
"What is this?" Kennan's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. He finally understood what the strange smiles on these people's faces mean, as if they were looking at the malice of lambs to be slaughtered.
"Don't ask anything, swallow it alive..." Seeing the hesitation on Kennan and others' faces, the old man gently tapped the shield. His tone was proud and despicable, "Or after you were unconscious, I let them crawl into your mouth. The shields in front of you can resist the short-term impact of the wild beasts. The inner layer is also filled with a twisted force field generated by the warp engine. As long as it is filled with nerve anesthesia gas, don't think about having a chance to escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kennan's thought of resisting suddenly came to an end, but it was not because of the old man's words. Instead, the system prompted him and what a teammate with space teleportation ability in the team said to him.
[Note: You are exposed to the Zerg's conspiracy - the development of human traitors. After successfully transmigrating into a brain-controlling person, you will obtain changes in the camp, mission purpose, and other conditions. At that time, you will learn about the clues of new missions....].
"Captain, the system prompts that since it is connected to the warp engine, there will be great dangers in space transmission."
The cruel reality made them have to endure the nausea and depression that arose in their hearts, open their mouths, and put these bugs in their mouths.
As soon as he got into it, these fat green insects twisted their slippery bodies and entered their minds. Kennan felt like his head was broken, and then his mind was opened up. A series of strange thoughts emerged in his consciousness. Some of them had clearly thought about them, and some seemed to be completely unimpressed. They all became active in their memory.
"Don't be nervous, this is the infected person connecting your brain with thought touch, reading deep consciousness, and you will be fine when you adapt to it." The old colonel outside explained.
After completing this process, all five people heard a prompt.
[Note: You have completed the transformation of brain insect control people and established a secret connection with brain insects and dominance. Your consciousness will be partially affected by them, and the original moral values and values and self-cognition will have certain deviations... At the same time, thanks to the infected person's auxiliary control ability on your body, your power and agility attributes will increase by 2, 3, and 4 points respectively during this period, and the mental attributes will be improved by 4 points because of the spiritual ability of the infected person].
[Warning: Since this part of the conscious influence is permanent, after the task, it is recommended that the evolver receive professional psychological counseling to correct the distorted views and personal cognition... In addition, if the evolver is found to have a tendency to break free from the control of the Zerg, the infected person will produce fatal toxins while self-destruction, so the evolver is advised to control his behavior with caution].
"Will this be discovered?" Kennan did not care about the content of the system prompts, but asked the people outside the world the most important question at the moment. As an evolutionist, he could easily adapt to this change in his identity.
"What do you think?" The old colonel was obviously affected by this consciousness. He explained without shame but honor. "When you see us standing here, you should know that there is no need to worry at all. In fact, these infected people can disguise themselves as the same as the brain, blocking out the known detection methods of humans. No one will notice your abnormality."
As he said that, he looked at Kenan with a mild expression in surprise. The colonel felt that the performance of these people was really enough to make them look at him with admiration and could actually return to peace so quickly. You must know that for a while after the transformation, they had to live for a while. If the infected person had not had the mental ability of strong enough to take over the control of their bodies, many people might have committed suicide.
Of course, after knowing the greatness of the Lord in depth, they deeply regretted why they had not become the servant of the Lord as soon as possible and contributed their lifelong contribution to the great concept of Zerg cleaning the universe.
"Why don't you ask?" After Kennan and others felt their physical condition, they were surprised to see the closed shield being opened, and they asked in confusion.
"It is no longer necessary. After the infected person successfully links your brain, all your memories have been completely received by the dominant and associated brainworms. They will determine whether what you know will pose a threat to us." The old colonel replied.
After hearing what the old colonel said, Kennan suddenly realized it. He felt relaxed. It seemed that they didn't need to consider the lies, and the evolutionary system took over them.
Seeing the expressions of the five people disapproving, the old colonel had a misunderstanding. He preached to the newcomers with a fanatical look: "Don't doubt, this is the greatness of the master. Although we are all humble servants under its control, we have independent will. We are protected by God and the perfect family. When you encounter other lowly bugs, you can experience this wonderful feeling, as if you can feel every part of their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."
"Uh...well, I understand, but we care more now, what is the next task?" Kennan was a little uncomfortable with this fanatical state of thinking. He was like a propaganda. He was a little worried that he would become like this brainwashed crazy later. He felt furious.
"I have to say that you should be able to please the master and the brainworm before the transformation is completed. Just thinking about the mission." The old colonel didn't know what Kenan and others thought. He was envious and explained to them in detail, "Don't worry, the purpose of this operation is very simple, to destroy the action of the human federation and prevent them from joining the stray dogs who are struggling. What we did on the planet Tifa before was to weaken their strength, and then take this opportunity to transform more of our companions."
"We have relatively few staffs now. Only half of the senior officers are ours, and less than one-tenth of the middle officers, so to achieve the final goal, it is the best way to completely control this strategic cruise ship." The old colonel explained their current situation again.
Kennan's heart moved and asked quickly, "Where is Chen Farah...has he transformed by you?"
Before the old colonel answered, he suddenly said, "If not, we want to exclude this person. He is our enemy. We do not like to be companions with such a person."
"I have to say that you mentioned it very timely. It happened to be after you, so you should ask him. However, whether to convert or not depends on the meaning of the master and the brainworm. This is not something we can decide." The old colonel nodded and shook his head.
Obviously, the power to decide their choices can only be given by their "God".
...
Chen Xi noticed the environment here as soon as she came in.
A single chair is placed alone in the middle, with a high stairs in front of it. You must look up to see the faces above, obviously in order to create a condescending scrutiny and give the person being questioned a sense of awe and a sense of pressure in awe.
Of course, there are some possibilities, which are to highlight the sense of superiority. Sometimes confidence comes like this. Sitting in a high position and staring at others with disdain, even the words become more and more flexible.
"Fara Chen, we have several questions to answer about your process on the planet Tifa. I hope you can ensure that every sentence is true and credible without any fabricated parts." The old colonel in charge said to the manuscript according to the script. They would list the things they wanted to understand in advance and write the draft.
"No problem, ask." Chen Xi said indifferently. He has always been very confident about how to fabricate a lie into the truth.
"Did you get the [Banshees Confusion] that can attract the Zergs' attention and temporarily get them out of the control of brainworms?" The colonel said, then turned to the confessions of the people in front, pointed to some of the sentences and asked, "Why did you make this risky choice to be bait at that time? According to the confirmation of the people in front, Kennan and others are obviously malicious..."
The colonel actually disagreed with Chen Xi's choice at that time. It was incredible that a criminal who was still serving his sentence was so "high-end". The most common approach should not be to use the [Banshees Confusion], and then he ran back with the beast and pulled his teammates to die together.
This is also the main reason why he quickly believed in the master and became its most loyal servant after becoming a brain-controlling man. Compared to the Zerg who could sacrifice his own goal at any time for the same goal, human thoughts are too dirty and low-level, and there is no moral integrity that a group race should have.
But obviously, the colonel had never seen Brother Chen's unique acting skills and was destined to be shocked. He was the best at pretending to be a good person.
"Yes, the things are provided by them, and the purpose is to make sacrifices and three other people to create safety opportunities for them. But I think that as a warrior on the battlefield, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When I understand that if I have a certain chance of survival against the beast, I made this decision, because if they were them, the success rate was very small." Chen Xi said sincerely, with an extremely correct attitude.
The colonel adjusted his sitting position a little unaccustomedly, straightened his waist and sat higher. Chen Xi's answer made him feel awkward: "The second question is, why did he immediately rushed to another battlefield after getting rid of the self-destruction of the jumping lice? In the environment affected by the radiation of the crystal building at that time, you didn't know the situation on that battlefield, and it was very likely that it would be very dangerous there."
Faced with the colonel's questioning, Chen Xi changed his lyrical statement this time: "I think the most fair thing in life is that everyone will die, but the difference is that everyone's life will affect many people, some are so heavy that they can remember for a lifetime, while some are forgotten after a day. What I hope is the former."
"Uh..." The colonel subconsciously loosened the tie on his formal outfit a little. He felt a lot of pressure on Chen Xi now: "Do you have no regrets or hesitation? For example, if you are worried that after attracting those bugs, others will leave you alone, and leave you alone, or resent the people who directed this operation, if it weren't for their mistakes, you wouldn't be in danger."
"I agree with the saying: A person's value does not lie in what others do for you, but in what you have done... So, when I do something, I never like to care about other people's opinions. No matter what they do, it is their choice. I just need to concentrate on my own affairs."
"And I know that there are many things and people in life that we don't want to see, but they often appear in front of us and become difficult to get rid of. At this time, what we should do most is not resentment and curse, but believe that it will always pass, just like the mistakes we make. In fact, after thinking about it overnight, it feels not that bad."
Chen Xi said, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate something invisible, falling into the eyes of everyone on the stairs. The way of looking up felt like he was looking down at them at an extremely high position, making them feel ashamed... Even if it was not the action they arranged, they did not object.
Especially the middle and senior officers who have become brain insect control people like the colonel, unconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
